Nitoproof 10 Bitumen emulsion protective coating
Uses To act as a damp-proof membrane and vapour seal for
concrete and masonry. It can also be used as a protective coating
for concrete below ground. Foundation protective coating Curing
membrane Advantages Nitoproof 10 has a number of significant
advantages
as follows: Easy to apply Economical in use Multipurpose, serves
both as a protective coating and
curing membrane Contains no solvent, no health hazard Resists
attack by chloride and sulphate ions present in
the ground water Adhere to wide range of materials including
concrete,
steel, cork and wood Description Nitoproof 10 is a brown/black
liquid blend of selected bitumens emulsified with water to give an
easily applied protective coating. Standards compliance Nitoproof
10 complies with concrete curing requirements of ASTM C309-93 when
applied at a rate of 2m2 per litre and to BS6949:1991 requirements
for bituminous coating. Specification Concrete surfaces shall be
waterproofed with Nitoproof 10, a bitumen emulsion protective
coating. It shall be applied at a rate of 2 m2 per litre, and thus
act as a combined waterproofing and curing agent in accordance with
ASTM C309.
Properties The essential properties of Nitoproof 10 are: Bitumen
content : 60% Time between coats : Minimum 2 hours Chemical
resistance (Test results with some common chemicals) Potable water
: Excellent Sea water : Excellent 10% Sodium Hydroxide :
Satisfactory 5% Sodium sulphate : Satisfactory Wet heat (700C + 80%
R.H.) : Satisfactory Instructions for Use Surface preparation
Surfaces to be coated must be sound, clean and free of oil or
grease. Any oil or grease contamination should be removed with a
proprietary chemical degreaser. If the surface is dusty, it should
be primed with a coat of Nitoproof 10, diluted with an equal
quantity of cool, clean water and allowed to dry. Application
Nitoproof 10 may be applied by brush, broom or squeegee. It is
recommended that one or two coats should be applied depending on
the degree of protection required. Allow a minimum of 2 hours
between coats. Where the Nitoproof 10 is to take a screed, the
second coat should be blinded with clean, dry sharp sand as soon as
applied. The excess sand should be brushed off when the coating has
dried. Cleaning Nitoproof 10 should be removed from tools and
equipment with water when it is wet. On drying Nitoproof 10 may be
removed with Fosroc Solvent 102. Technical support Fosroc offers a
full technical support package to specifiers, end users and
contractors, as well as on-site assistance in locations all over
the world.
